Have just taken the plunge on a 1982 Mirage 33. I'm looking for advice on the boat in terms of the good and not so good points of the boat. What to watch for, what might need attention (other than the stem plate). Where any leaks might come from, any mods to make the boat more liveable etc. I have a dozen years sailing experience and have owned 2 sailboats previously so am looking for ...
Mirage Yachts Ltd

Mirage 29? Could this be the ticket?
But, something worth $40k Canadian right now is probably in the neighborhood of $35k US. I've sailed on a Mirage 29. Great boat for a few day trip with up to 4 who are close friends. Like.

Mirage 24 build quality?
The Mirage 24 was designed by C&C and built by Mirage (it was their first boat). Mirage 24 - Used Sailboat Market in Canada. Everything I've heard about Mirage with respect to quality has been positive. Then again, maintenance is key to a thirty plus year old boat. Good luck, they are a nice looking boat.
Mirage 26/27
The Mirage 26/27 is a roomy boat for her length, with nicely laid out accommodations. The interior of Diane Wait's 26 has gelcoated liners under the decks, against the hull above hull above the berths, and on the overhead.

Mirage Pilot House 32 Classic
The boat left a very clean wake at trolling speed, and maneuverability was nimble in reverse. Subsequent factory tests with a 32 powered by twin 265-hp diesel engines produced speeds in the high 40s at cruise and a top-end of 53 mph, fully loaded with tower.
Mirage 33
Mirage 33 is a 33′ 5″ / 10.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Robert Perry and built by Mirage Yachts Ltd starting in 1982.
Mirage 30 (29?) or Great Lakes boat
Mirage 30, Robert Perry design, 8000 lbs, 10.5 feet beam, 23.75 feet on waterline. As boat heals, picks up more waterline length. 15hp Yanmar diesel, later models 18hp Volvo.
Mirage 5.5, anyone owned / sailed one.
I heard the claim several times that the Mirage 5.5 was banned from a number of regattas because of that. They don't seem any more dangerous than many other little swing-keel racer-cruisers though. I've sailed one a few times and it does sail relatively well... not bad in light air, balances OK.

The Hobie Mirage Tandem Island
Few designs pack as much fun into 18 feet as the Hobie Mirage Tandem Island, a two-person pedal-or-paddle kayak that converts to a sail-powered trimaran by attaching a pair of akas and amas, and stepping a carbon-fiber mast. The roller-reefing loose-footed mainsail carries a generous amount of sailcloth up high and is supported by vertical battens. The boat s robust rotomolded hull encourages
Opinions on a Mirage 5.5 (20')
13 posts · Joined 2022. #11 · Aug 6, 2024. My first boat was a Mirage 5.5 and I loved it. It is very responsive and under spinnaker it just flys. Took a lot of folks out on it for their first sailing experience and it always impressed. The only issue I had with it was that the keel got a bit sloppy in its fittings.
Mirage 5.5
Mirage 5.5 is a 20′ 0″ / 6.1 m monohull sailboat designed by Ken Fickett and built by Mirage Mfg. between 1975 and 1983.
MIRAGE 35
Mirage 33 and 35 are nearly the same boat. The water line, sail area, beam, draft, and interior layout of these two boats is identical. The Mirage 35 has a reverse transom, (which accounts for the additional LOA) and weights a few hundred pounds more. Photo courtesy of Adam Hunt.
Mirage® Adventure Island Reviews
Mirage® Adventure Island Description An absolute joy on the water, the Hobie Mirage Adventure Island is an impressively approachable trimaran sailing kayak. A roller-furling, vertically battened mainsail provides lift, a retractable centerboard prevents lateral slip, and the larger amas tuck parallel against the rotomolded polyethylene hull for docking. Multiple hatches, on-deck stowage and ...
Mirage 26 and Mirage 27
Mirage 26 and Mirage 27. I'm a very, VERY happy owner of a 1977 (Hull #13) Mirage 26. The boat has been fantastic to my wife and I. We have had her sailing up to 10.3kts (GPS speed) surfing down the back of some rolling waves in the middle of Georgian Bay. Anyways, I started this thread with the hope of getting some info from other owners of ...
Hobie Mirage i12s Inflatable Kayak
